Remember that time Voodoo Fest made a mistake? Irvin Mayfield does.

At last year's Voodoo Experience, local jazz man Irvin Mayfield canceled his Friday set with his New Orleans Jazz Orchestra because, reportedly, festival producer Rehage Entertainment failed to provide a piano, which the band had requested.

This year, Mayfield got his piano, as well as a jab directed at Rehage.

About fifteen minutes into Mayfield and NOJO's Saturday afternoon show at the SoCo/WWOZ stage, after performing several lovely jazz pieces, Mayfield asked the audience to "make some noise," then made some noise of his own.

"Let's hear it for Voodoo Fest and Steven Rehage, the producer!" Mayfield shouted. "Thanks for giving us a piano this year."

Most people in the audience probably didn't know what Mayfield was referring to, so it's not likely the comment did anything to change the energy of the set. And, in an interview with The Times-Picayune last November, he said he was "a little disappointed," but that he and NOJO didn't "have any issue with Steve Rehage. Everybody understood; mistakes happen."

What do you think about the jab? Passive aggression or just a fair ribbing?

Either way, one thing's clear: Do not mess up Mayfield's contract rider.
